So, I lined the picture window on Lake Michigan Drive with a string of orange lights for Halloween.
Well, I kind of lined it....the string wasn't long enough. I think I had enough lights for, like, 3/4 of the window.
I drove Audrey by the window around 9:00 PM to take a look, and she laughed until she cried, because she thought it looked so weird.
I said, "Hey babe, it's Halloween. It doesn't have to be perfect."
I love it, myself.

The more voters learn about Sarah Palin, the more wary they become. Once the focus of post-convention Republican euphoria, the Alaska Governor is now viewed as a serious liability to the McCain campaign.
As it stands, Palin's polling numbers are daunting: with the unfolding economic crisis, her favorable to unfavorable ratings have switched from a positive 40-30, according to a September 12-16 New York Times survey, to a negative 32-41 in an October 10-13 survey.
Palin is, additionally, costing McCain newspaper endorsements. Editor and Publisher calculated that as of Oct 18, Barack Obama led McCain 58-16 in the competition for the backing of newspapers. Many of the endorsements cited Palin as a factor in their rejection of McCain. The Salt Lake Tribune, which supported George W. Bush in 2004, commented that "out of nowhere, and without proper vetting, the impetuous McCain picked Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate. She quickly proved grievously under-equipped to step into the presidency should McCain, at 72 and with a history of health problems, die in office. More than any single factor, McCain's bad judgment in choosing the inarticulate, insular and ethically challenged Palin disqualifies him for the presidency." The Kansas City Star, in turn, described Palin as "unqualified."
Good choice. You betcha!
"Naked Dumb"?

Vicki,
Every year I carve about 30 pumpkins -- each with a different face -- and using coathangers, I hang them in the tree in the front yard. Keeping them all lit is sometimes a problem, but the kids in the neighborhood love it. Kind of wish they didn't because my hands are getting too old to do so many. But it does look kind of neat, I must admit. Got the idea from a Ray Bradbury book I used to read to my older kinds called "The Haloween Tree."
With all due disrespect, Sarah not only sucked, she didn't even blow.
Worst. cameo. ever.
For a journalism major from a very minor school, she really should have been able to ace a cameo.
Hell, I could have done it with more charm and aplomb. And maybe even a wink.

two teenage employees of a drug store chain today followed a suspected shoplifter out of the store and got a little excited telling him he was 'under arrest' and just wailin' on him.
he fought back yelling to his wife to 'get the pipe' 'gimme the pipe'
a whacked out looking (addict I suppose)woman got out of the van with the pipe (a bit shorter and more colourful than I expected to see) and circled the fight still going on after five minutes
some guy stood with his cell phone (drugstore security i think?) taking photos and somebody else demanded to see his i.d.
a bystander told the woman with the pipe 'that won't be necessary' but she ignored him.
they let him go after she circled the action with a raised pipe and they drove off.
quite dramatic and unpleasant.

Yeah, I know. He did have that error in game seven. Then three years later, his younger brother Brian (who also had a twin brother, Blake, who was the best athlete of the three) played second base for the Yankees in the '78 series against the Dodgers.
my cousin, Denny Doyle, was the Sox second baseman in that famous '75 World Series

Cool!
(Doyle rounds 3rd, 3rd base coach (Zimmer?) - "No, no, no!")
Doyle is easily thrown out at plate. "Thought you said "go, go, go..."

No, just the Cook Inlet stock, that is resident in Knick Arm. The other stocks, Bristol Bay, Norton Sound, and the two others I can't remember right now, are doing better than the Cook Inlet ones. Their population has declined by over 50% since the 90s.

No doubt what Zimmer was saying. It was "go, go, go." And he should have been pointing to the plate, or pointing to third, because of the noise. Denny got a bad rap on that one.

Frank Rich is good tonight:
The Bushian ethos that McCain embraced, as codified by Karl Rove, is larger than any particular vote or policy. Indeed, by definition that ethos is opposed to the entire idea of policy. The whole point of the Bush-Rove way of doing business is that principles, coherent governance and even ideology must always be sacrificed for political expediency, no matter the cost to the public good.
Like McCain now, Bush campaigned in 2000 as a practical problem-solver who could “work across the partisan divide,” as he put it in his first debate with Al Gore. He had no strong views on any domestic or foreign issue, except taxes and education. Only after he entered the White House did we learn his sole passion: getting and keeping power. That imperative, not the country, would always come first.

The Unified Wombat Theory of Bushism reduces his administration to an exercise in the aggrandizement of power in an unaccountable executive. No checks, balances, laws, Constitutions, treaties. Everything politicized, including even science, medicine. Ideology in service of power, rather than power in service to ideology. The war on Iraq, the 'war on terrorism', make far more sense if you view their domestic effect.
Simels turned on the cavemen, and did air guitar to Dark Side of the Moon for them. He told the Neanderthals about car insurance too.

This skit is quite immature. And poorly written.
Okay guys and gals. I have the SNL on the Tivo. Should I bother to watch it?
Two things I'd like to do before I cross the bar: fly a Stearman and a DC-3. Had a chance to fly a B-25 once, and wrote a column about it. Said it was a lot like sex, you got really hot and sweaty but it felt really good. And they left it in!
The Stearman was more or less accidental. He had a friend who kept telling him that the only way to get ahead in the new Air Force was to be a pilot, so he agreed to some informal weekend training (he'd navigated during WWII). But, he'd been a navigation trainer in B-25s. The Air Force had a ton of them in the Texas coast area for doing multi-engine nav training over water.
But, before he and my mother got married, he "borrowed" a B-25 and had this same guy fly him over my grandfather's farm, since my grandfather had been an airplane mechanic in WWI. Flat-out, about 300 mph over the farm, so low that they had to lift one wing to clear the windmill. Paw-paw had a grin plastered on his face for days, I'm told.
There's a guy in the Confederate Air Force with one that I saw, maybe fifteen years ago, and it's quite a sound, those two big radials pumping away at low altitude.

Bush might hit the trifecta this week. It seeems the surge is about to stop working. From the NY Times:
But there were signs on Saturday that Iraqi unease with the security negotiations extends beyond Mr. Sadr’s faction. Quietly, some parliamentary leaders suggested that they, too, were not comfortable with the agreement even though some of them had been involved in negotiating it.

Simels is as old as the universe. On the other hand, he's going to Paris on his ladyfriend's expense account.
Top that, young'uns.
Yes, in Bushland it was the Mayberry Machiavelli's who ran the White House. Politics ran policy. the goal was power and cronyism.

Wombat,
Good to see you sir. I wrote something after you'd left one day last week thanking you for pointing me to Berlin. He's sometimes convoluted, but writes the way people think -- series of connected ideas and images with little punctuation. I'm starting Feyerabend tomorrow.

I'm sorry; I never thought you were, sir. Didn't mean for my comment to sound that way at all. Besides, I diss him enough for the boot in game seven. (I'd make the little smiley face here if I could, but it never seems to work when I try it.)

This thing about some kind of security pact or whatever leaves me with a knot in my stomach. I would so rather this whole thing be left to the next president. I have my tinfoil hat ready just in case.

McCain's latest: claiming that Obama will turn the IRS "into a giant welfare agency." And this even though McCain's rationale for this claim is Obama's support for a refundable tax credit, something McCain himself supports as a centerpiece of his health care plan. Par for the course, really: if you figure in the robocalls and recent ads, McCain's entire campaign is now comprised of innuendo and lies meant to tie Obama to various stereotypes of African-Americans and of course Arab terrorism. His purported foreign policy experience hasn't been part of the campaign's message in weeks. Just black, black, black, terrorist, terrorist, terrorist. --Josh Marshall

Glad you liked Berlin; I find him more on point with every reading.
Feyerabend is a bit of a provocateur; he'll challenge the bejesus out of you. And he comes across, oddly, as a decent sort of fellow to me, even when I disagree with him. He wants to limit the power of even the good guys to be authoritative, and runs with that proposition to some unexpected places...

As I've said far too frequently, I'm sure, the more I learn, the more I realize I don't know very much at all. Thanks for the tips about Feyerabend. And of course you're right about Berlin -- much of what he had to say was prescient. Especially when you consider the disaster that Mr. Bush has visited on the country.
The old REd Sox paradigm was that they'd end up losing, but they'd hurt you doing it. So an old fan understood that they had to come back THursday, and win today, so that they'd be able to lose tomorrow, dashing the newly raised hopes of the faithful. THe kids, though, are used to the Sox pulling out the series; down 3-1 against the Yanks and Indians, and now the Rays.
Either way, the Sox had to win tonight. Tomorrow, though, as someone once said, is another day...

James McPherson's new book, reciewd in tomorrow's Times, is about Lincoln as Commander In Chief. He's a great writer and a superb historian.
He says some things they won't like Down There. He, for instance, refuses to concede primacy as a cause of the war to anything other than slavery. And he calls a spade a spade:
This was not a war between the states, much less between sovereign countries. It was a war of treason and rebellion. The Constitution reflected the work of the people, not the states, and the people had made it supreme.
Consequently, although the states of the Confederacy were temporarily under the control of rebel governments, they remained part of the Union. Lincoln was merely exercising his constitutional responsibility to take care that the laws of the United States were faithfully enforced — not only in New York and New Jersey, but in Virginia and South Carolina as well.

The Stars and Bars, the flag of treason and slavery. I'll defend the South from caricature, even its own caricature of itself. But I won't defend those who say that flag's 'heritage'. The Germans have dealt with their 'heritage' too.
